Students Forced to Wear Burqas in Texas School

It is surreal that this type of orwellian "education" is taking place in America. This is the bilge which has been allowed to infiltrate and take over public education in this country under our noses, even in Texas. The government run education system ought to be abolished. If islam is going to be taught in schools, students should be taught the truth about it's bloody history and its brutal oppression.

We are doing our job, one that must be thorough and will take time.”
CSCOPE has come under fire for controversial curriculum content, including accusations of multiple lessons showing a pro-Islamic agenda. CSCOPE representatives had claimed that such content had been “taken out of context” or that they were “old lessons that have since been taken down.” Continue reading
